1. She pelted me with pebbles, and arrows are her eyelashes
My tearful eyes after them are eyes

2. And the child shook some of them in the battle of will
He kindled tender emotions in my heart with them

3. And you told me about the eyes of her gazelles
It's enough for you that the talk is melancholy

4. I yearn for Wadi Al-Arak more than fever
Alas from Wadi Al-Arak there is yearning

5. It was true to me after the breath of a sorcerer
And you doubted that the breeze is deceptive

6. Oh what innocent agony I did not expect
When union is mere guess and separation is certain

7. And between the houses of the neighborhood every beauty
Has debts to them that can never be paid

8. As for her heart it is like her heart
It hardens while her stature softens

9. Will separation really judge between us
And the plains of love become gloomy?

10. Oh my burning liver the day you claimed
That parting will happen tomorrow

11. He called me while the landmarks of the abode so I have
Affairs between the hills and affairs

12. So my heart is tinder and As-Suwayda is blazing
And for the fire between that there is dormancy

13. I buried passion from an ignorant one about its place
And most agonizing is passion when buried

14. They say: "Make light of whom you were burdened with loving"
To find solace, but love cannot be made light of

15. And none knows fervent love and sorrow
Except a despairing one who left in sadness

16. My friend, how can patience be possible
When I have never known how patience can be?

17. And you frightened me with a ruinous raid
Wherein the jealous one hides while steadfast

18. It suffices a lover to have agreements whose swords
Are curtains which war unravels while docile

19. And the threading of snatched bracelets is doing
The deed of the slender-waisted one while they are branches

20. And the light of daybreak above the free faces
And the wings of the black night in the hair dormant

21. I fear while beyond me are adversaries and a neighbor
Who surpasses the emaciated year while plump

22. And those heights and lowlands and these
Steeds of the mighty king while they are docile
